iness Characteristic Of old soldiers, the
comrades resolved themselves intoa COM

Col. Sessuns, from Iowa, made very

feelings of the boys, and the responses
came thick and warm. All the thoughts

kind and tender words. DR.. Squires

At these gatherings you will see an old

Another point limited at was that if
ever the country needed to educate her

south are still mourning over the lost
cause; worshiping their old battle flags,
and lnstilling into the minds of their
young the same feeling. of disloyalty.
Certainly we do not want to sit idly by

The WINE Terbu.h Murder.


Three men have been arrested at
COneOrdia for the murder of Willie
Terbush. The Clay Center TImcs
says:
IL seems that through the persist
ent efforts of the authorities and peO-
pie, a clue has been obtained and "A
chain Of eircumstantial evidence
worked up which points strongly tO
the guilt of these parties. ID was
near the house Of Haines that the
murder was committed, and there
are witnesses tO contradict his testi-
mOny before the cOrOner's jury. The
theory II that Haines, Dave Johns
aud another fellow entered into a
conspiracy to hold Terbush up and
rob him. All the parties remained
I'm COncOrdia until Terbush start
ed for the fair ground. TheS
then took a shorter route than he did
and by walking fast arrived at the
point where he was to be waylaid
ahead OF him. Haines was station
ed here to do the work and the other
two hastened on toward the fair
grounds to keep a sharp lookout and
give warming I'm case any one should
be travelling along the road toward
town. The suppOsitiOn Is that when
Terbush came up Haiues ordered
him to throw up his hands, and that
he showed fight instead, when
Haines shot him. AS this Was not a
part of the program, it would he
natural for Haines to make tracks
away from the vicinity without
TO rob his victim. IL is
said that a very strong ease has been
worked up in support of the theory.
